> Sounds a lot like organized crime, is it supposed to have that undertone?

As does "Department of Homeland Security". That was the first federal agency named that way, and prior to that people would have thought that sort of naming to be associated with the Stassi or a totalitarian regime. I suppose it is commonplace now.




"Federal Bureau of Investigation" or "Secret Service" aren't particularly friendly sounding names either...


Friendly sounding to whom?
